Gary Giordano charged with indecent exposure

Police: Gary Giordano found naked with woman in SUV

The man who federal authorities have investigated in the disappearance of an American tourist in Aruba was charged in Annapolis last week with indecent exposure after a police officer reported seeing him engaged in sexual activities.

Gary Vincent Giordano, 51, was charged shortly after 5:45 p.m. Friday with indecent exposure after he was seen with a Tennessee woman inside a sport utility vehicle parked in a parking garage in the 100 block of Gorman Street in Annapolis, according to a police report obtained by WBAL-TV 11 News.

According to Annapolis police, the officer approached a Cadillac Escalade registered to Giordano's Gaithersburg home in the 12400 block of Pueblo Road.

The bicycle officers on patrol said they received a call of possible sexual activity, and upon arriving at the scene, they said they saw the woman on a mattress in the back of the SUV partially covered by a blanket with one of her breasts exposed in plain sight.

As the officers approached the SUV, they said they observed the woman cover herself and Giordano begin to cover his midsection. According to the police report, one of the officers saw Giordano's genitals through the window. The pair were ordered to get dressed and get out of the SUV.

An employee tending to the parking garage submitted a witness statement, saying two passers-by complained to him.

The woman, identified by Annapolis police as Carol Ann Bock, 45, of Springfield, Tenn., was also charged with indecent exposure.

Giordano has been a person of interest in a federal investigation into the disappearance of Robyn Gardner in August.
